MOTOMAN YASKAWA SP165-105
Robot details
The YASKAWA MOTOMAN SP165-105 is a high-performance 6-axis spot welding and material handling robot specifically engineered for applications requiring both extended reach and exceptional positioning accuracy. Designed to combine the flexibility of a compact robot with the working range of a much larger system, the SP165-105 is an ideal solution for automotive manufacturing, Body-in-White (BIW) production, spot welding automation, and handling operations involving large workpieces.
With a payload capacity of 105 kg and an impressive 3,058 mm horizontal reach, the SP165-105 offers one of the largest working envelopes within the SP Series. The extended arm design often eliminates the need for additional linear tracks, reducing system complexity and lowering installation costs while maintaining excellent accessibility across large production areas.
The robot is powered by the advanced YRC1000 controller, delivering high-speed motion control, accurate trajectory management, advanced diagnostics, and seamless integration into modern Industry 4.0 production environments. Combined with Yaskawa's Sigma-7 servo drive technology, the SP165-105 achieves outstanding dynamic performance, reduced cycle times, and excellent energy efficiency.
Its slim-profile design minimizes interference and enables installation in high-density robotic workcells. Integrated cable and media routing inside the robot arm improve reliability, reduce cable wear, and simplify maintenance procedures. The stable wrist structure supports servo-controlled welding guns and allows fast positioning movements commonly required in spot welding operations.
Thanks to its long reach, high repeatability, and optimized motion performance, the SP165-105 is widely used for spot welding, handling operations, automotive body assembly, and automated manufacturing systems requiring extensive workspace coverage.
